INGREDIENTS
30g Whey Protein Isolate
20g Chickpea Flour
10g Almond Butter
1 Medjool Date
30g Fresh Raspberries
5g Crushed Almonds
5g Maple Syrup
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a small baking tray or a mini loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a food processor, combine the whey protein isolate, chickpea flour, almond butter, and maple syrup. Blend until a smooth, sticky mixture forms.
Add the Medjool date to the mixture and pulse until it's well incorporated. The date will naturally sweeten and help bind the ingredients.
Gently fold in the fresh raspberries and crushed almonds, taking care not to overmix so that the berries retain their shape.
Press the mixture evenly into the prepared pan, ensuring a compact layer for easy bar cutting.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, just until the edges begin to set. Avoid overbaking to maintain a soft, chewy texture.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a rack. Once cooled, cut into bars of your desired size.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
